Nobody has any Christmas videos today? I’m kinda bummed about this.

Meaning, I watched several of the videos yesterday and quite enjoyed it.

I don’t want you to be bummed Rich so here is another classic which may not be your preferred genre but it tears at the heart strings
Judy Garland : Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas from Meet me In St. Louis

My real favorite is Santa Claus is Comin’ in a Boogie Woogie Choo Choo Train by the Tractors - but I can’t find the video. So I can’t help it, I love boogie woogie - I’m going with The Santa Claus Boogie - also by the Tractors. Here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUrWFBfz3SM&feature=related

My favorite X-mas album is the Vince Guaraldi Trio soundtrack for A Charlie Brown Christmas.

OK, when you start up in the morning, try this one: 1977 version of the Kinks doing “Father Christmas.” Funky but good video and reasonable sound.

Or if your taste runs to bebop, try this White Christmas with Charlie Parker:

Then there’s Baby It’s Cold Outside by Louis Jordan and Ella Fitzgerald.

Some comments about this Louis/Ella version talk about Glee. Pearls before swine.
